Hmmm -- lots of opinions in this thread, and it is an old one, so I think some clarity is in order.
The phrase "Black Tobacco Candle" can refer to either of two things:
* A black vigil candle dressed with "Black Candle Tobacco" (see below!)
* A black free-standing candle such as a 4" altar light, a 6" offertory candle, 9" jumbo candle, or a seven-knob candle that has been rolled in "Black Candle Tobacco" (see below!) The rolling may be facilitated with Oil (in this case, Tobacco Oil), or it may be made the old-fashioned hard-core way, by melting some wax on a cookie sheet by placing it in the oven for a few minutes, strewing the wax with "Black Candle Tobacco" (see below!) and rolling the candle up in the wax to make a lumpy surface. This method is described more fully in Miss Cat's classic book, "The Art of Hoodoo Candle Magic."
"Black Candle Tobacco" is very dark tobacco. It is not the light brown Virginia or cigarette style tobacco, although if you are on a budget, you could rip a cigarette open and use it. But this stuff is actually black Tobacco, like a Latakia type, and cut in shreds, for use in a pipe. It is really strong.
